Black Cabinet....
I found this claw foot antique cabinet
years ago. Never had time to get to it.
But, now that I’ve took this year off
of customer orders.. I’m finally
getting to my pieces that I have been
wanting to get too.
It was missing one board on the side.
Both shelves where gone inside also.
I added new knobs to the top small drawer.
I made some slat shelves and I wanted them
to be very knotty. So I tried to pick the worst
ones at the hardware store.
Stained the slats in a dark stain. The sealed those in
general finishes flat high performance.
Painted the outside of the cabinets in
a black with distressed edges.
Added some antiquing to it with dark wax.
Also added new handles to the cabinet doors.
Then added chicken wire and painted that black too.
Oh and added some magnetic closures.
This would be perfect for a coffee bar.
Or just for books in the living room.

Large Cream Distressed French Buffet....
I found this beautiful very wide and old french
provincial buffet last year. It's 94.5" wide. I had it up as custom
painted only. New customer put an order in for it
last October or November. We are booked for months.
She waited patiently. Here it is before below.
She wanted my chalk painted cream distressed
finish with a stained dark top.
It was painted in a dark reddish brown color.
So we stripped everything down. I wanted that natural
wood to show up not the painted look it had.
Stained the top in general finishes espresso.
Sealed in a semi gloss.
Body painted in cream.
Distressed the edges.
I had this beautiful hardware and added that to the
middle drawers.
Painted the inside also.
Had red felt in the first drawer so we removed that.
Boy was that fun!
Here it is all completed looking gorgeous!
She is very happy with the outcome!

French Distressed White Bassett Dresser....
Client had purchased the french chest &
nightstands set in the white distressed finish I had
done and put up for sale a few weeks ago.
She wanted this french dresser we had in our inventory
in the same look. I fit it in my schedule and worked
on it during the weekend.
Here is the before below.
We stripped/sanded it all down and
I primed it even though I was chalk
painting it.
This is our full time job, we custom paint pieces,
deliver them, sell as is pieces, repair all our pieces to full
working order, strip them, prime them, take tons of close up pictures,
list them, post to my blog/Facebook/Instagram/Pinterest,
meet with clients online/in person, all in this ridiculous
Texas weather. Stripping takes along time. Each piece is
different. We do it ourselves as we trust no one else
to do it the way we do. We hardly ever rest, but we do love it.
It's a lot of work, we do a lot of work, which is why our clients
wait in line for us. I truly appreciate that. I'm
not too social on my online media pages, but
I feel why do I need to I take enough pictures to
show our work. They speak for me, straight forward is what
we're all about. Can we do what the client wants?
Yes, if we can't then I'll tell them we can't, but most of the
time we can and we do. I know chalk paint says no prep
but that's not us. We always prep.
After I primed it I chalk painted it all white.
Smooth chalk painted finish that we do.
We work really hard and go the extra mile for our finishes.
I mean just look at the pictures, it shows.
Our prices maybe somewhat higher than most,
but we've been doing this a long time. Our quality
of work is better than most out there I think. I have clients
who come back to me from 2012 and want us to
do more pieces for them. I see the pieces we did for them
all those years ago and they look like we just painted them.
Ok, back to the piece... I distressed the edges.
Then we added a new wood back.
Painted handles white and distressed them also.
Waxed to perfection.
Looks beautiful! So pretty & dainty 💓

Buffet & China Cabinet in Dark Navy.....
New client contacted me thru my blog and wanted me
to custom paint her antique buffet & china cabinet (hutch).
She viewed my blog for a bit and picked the custom navy
blue with antiquing I've done with Annie Sloan.
I custom mixed the color (sometimes I don't quite remember the
exact measurements so I have play with it).
Before picture of the buffet below.
After I custom painted it and antiqued it (no distressing)
pictures below.
Smooth thin finish.
I kept the hardware original. She left that up to me.
She just wanted me to do what I do basically.
Said she loved my work and trusted my artistry.
She wanted the inside painted.
I just love this look!
Next, was the hutch.
Before pictures below.
Same color and finish as the buffet above.
She wanted everything painted, so we took
apart everything.
Painted the inside top and bottom parts.
My smooth thin finish.
It takes a whole lot of time, paint, and work
to get these looks I do. I mean lots of work.
The detailing, numerous coats of paint I do
but in the end, I always always always love the outcome.
Plus, the bonus is the clients reaction when they see it 💝
Creamy Aged Dresser.....
We had this beautiful triple drawer dresser made by Bassett
for some time in our inventory.
I had it up as is or can be custom painted.
So, I decided to paint it in my own color design.
Here is the before below.
I painted it in a custom mix color I created out of
annie sloan chalk paint.
Our smooth flat finish pictured below.
No brush marks.
Added new hardware to the middle cabinet doors
from our hardware inventory.
Distressed the edges.
Kept the original hardware on the drawers it was
just to pretty.
Refinished the inside drawers in a driftwood color.
Then sealed everything in a satin finish.
I love how it came out 💗💗💗
Currently available for sale.
Grey Headboard Bench.....
This full size headboard was part of a bedroom set we had.
It had no footboard so we decided to make it into
a bench.
Here is the before below.
We have lots of furniture part in our inventory, so
I pulled out some beautiful ornate legs to add to the
front of the bench for legs.
I told John what I wanted and he went to work.
This is it below fully built before I painted it.
I stained the seat and sealed it with polycrylic.
I painted the rest a medium grey with annie sloan
chalk paint.
Antiqued it with no distress.
Painted the back also, just in case.
Extremely happy with the turnout 💓💓!!!
Currently available for sale.
Graphite Darkest Grey Dresser and Chest Set......
We found this beautiful dresser set a month ago and I
decided to paint in my own design instead of listing it as is.
Here are the befores below.
I changed out the hardware for french handles
and kept the knobs on the chest.
I decided to go dark on these pieces.
I did graphite in annie sloan chalk paint
on everything even the hardware.
Smooth flat finish.
I didn't distress it just let the distress happen naturally
when I waxed it.
So there is hardly any distress.
Loving how good it turned out!! BEAUTIFUL 💖😍
